Gatineau Park
Trails Skied: Fortune Pkwy, Champlain Pkwy, Glide Wax: Rode GLF 40, Grip Wax: N.A.
"Good rock skiing' conditions today. There is a somewhat slushy and reasonably firm base with 5-10 cm of more powdery on snow on top where it has not been skied in or packed with some sort of machinery. There are reasonably good skied in classic tracks in most places and the skating is a bit bumpy but fairly good overall.
Gatineau Park is ski paradise! The network of ski trails offer machine groomed skate skiing and classic skiing as well as little groomed backcountry trails. Multiple access points allow skiers to access a variety of terrain and scenery.
The NCC offers season or daily pay rates.
